"I Have a Dream Charitable Trust"

"We have used the site to get computers to put in the homes for each of our “dreamers”.

"Many of our existing computers had broken down. We listed a “Need” on Donate NZ and were amazed. We got some pretty good responses - and pretty quick responses - for computers. One firm gave 3; another gave me 5. We’ve received about 17 in total. If I have to go and buy them it is going to cost me anything from a couple of hundred dollars to a thousand dollars and for every dollar I spend on computers it is one dollar less I am spending on the programme for the kids, so if I can get a computer donated through Donate NZ that’s fantastic. It’s been a beneficial site for us."

"It’s a great site because there is a lot of stuff lying around whether it is in our businesses or our homes. We have got things. .. furniture, instruments, or computers .. and some organisation somewhere can probably use it. DNZ makes it possible to match donors and recipients in a very low cost transactional way."
